Luscious Desserts

Okay, here is the first of my recipes on this new blog. Why not start it with something sinful. Maybe not, but it's good enough to be!

Chocolate-Chocolate Cake

Prep time: 10 minutes plus cooling Baking time: 1 hour 5 minutes

1 pkg. (8 oz.) Philadelphia Brand Cream Cheese, softened
1 cup Breakstone's or Knudsen Sour Cream
1/2 cup coffee-flavored liqueur or water
2 eggs
1 pkg. (2-layer size) chocolate cake mix
1 pkg. (4 serving size) Jell-O Chocolate Flavor Instant Pudding and Pie Filling
1 cup Baker's Semi-Sweet Real Chocolate Chips


Mix cream cheese, sour cream, liqueur and eggs with electric mixer on medium speed until well blended. Add cake mix and pudding mix; beat until well blended. Fold in chips. (Batter will be stiff)

Pour into greased and floured 12-cup fluted tube pan.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 1 hour to 1 hour and 5 minutes or until toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool completely on wire reack. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving. Garnish, if desired. (I drizzled with melted chocolate then sprinkled with powdered sugar)

Quick, simple, but OH SO GOOD!
